I liked this book because it was full of adventure
I found this book intrestingh since it is set in 2479 and it makes me wonder if this will really happen in the future.
I loved Wonderscape and this is even better
I thought the author really put her mind into the boy , Arthur, and I could not have wanted a better story line. Ten year olds would really enjoy reading this.
I really liked this book , a sequel of the wonderful book Wonderscape and this book is truly a treasure to read.
It is an awesome book perfect for gamers and sci-fi fans. My favorite characters are Ribbon and Cecily. Cecily is brave, kind and quite ambitious even when crossing a high platform when she's scared of heights. Ribbon is an awesome, intelligent girl boss
Genius! Brilliant! Incredible!
a good sequel to Wonderscape. I really enjoyed it
This is a great companion to Wonderscape, with a fab new villain. I’m wondering if Mythopeia will later be written. These books are gripping and exciting and I know the children will love this one.
This book continued on to the story of Wonderscape (Jennifer Bell's previous book). I feel like the story line was basic and it followed the same structure of the first book.
This book was fictional and it was a magnificent book also a lovely read.
Arthur, Ren and Cecily are stuck in Legendarium in the year 2493, where the secretive villain, Deadlock has discovered dangerous time-travel technology. They must save the universe by entering the Irontide Tournament where legends are real and one wrong move could cost them their lives.
I didn't realise that this book was a sequel, when I picked it up. I will definitely be borrowing Wonderscape from the library.
I have a list of children as long as my arm in mind to recommend this book to.
The quest format, in the context of gaming, set in the future is a fantastic hook.
Likeable, believable characters. Fast-paced action. I loved it!
